Oregon is known as one of the most beautiful states in the Pacific-Northwest. With mountains, beaches, islands, and forests, it is also one of the most naturally diverse states, with absolutely gorgeous beach campsites. Enjoy the last weeks of warm weather beachside at the following five campsites.
South Beach State Park near Newport, Oregon, offers 227 electrical sites with water, 60 tent sites, and 27 yurts along Beaver Creek. The park covers almost 500 acres with public beach access. Other amenities include hiking, showers, jogging, biking, picnicking, and more.
Tillicum Beach Campground near Yachats, Oregon, boasts 61 unique campsites, almost all of which offer beachfront views. Enjoy single-family campsites and RV camping. Fishing, nature viewing, and water activities are all extremely popular at Tillicum.
Harris Beach State Park has 34 full-hookup sites, 23 electrical sites with water, 33 electrical sites with water and cable TV, 59 tent sites with water and cable nearby, in addition to six yurts and universal access. Bird Island, inside the park, is the largest off the Oregon Coast and provides “sandy beaches interspersed with rocky outcroppings harboring interesting tide pools with their wide variety of life.”
Bullards Beach State Park, situated in Coos County, Oregon, covers about 1,300 acres of land. The main campground is about three quarters of a mile from the beach, and has two trails with direct beach access. Choose from three different loops to make camp, called A Loop, B Loop, and C Loop. A and B Loop are open from spring to November and May through October respectively, with C Loop open year-round.
Prefer a private spot as opposed to a public park? Look no further than Twin Rocks Friends and Camp Conference Center, located on 120 acres of the Oregon Coast. They offer family camp rentals, adult conference facilities, youth camp rentals, and outdoor classes. Note that Twin Rocks is primarily a Christian group, but anyone can enjoy their incredible space!
